Custom reel handle

Post by screamendrag »

Screwen around with more aluminum.....kinda threw this together to see if it was worth doin.....gotta map it out more so theres a better fit to the reel(legnth and turning radius)...I think i could pull off a pretty nice handle this way :D

Anyone have any experience in polishing aluminum??Maybe just go down to like a 400-600 grit sand paper then buff it?

By the way the hadle is just the spacer, im going to lathe up a nice walnut or cherry handle :D

Thanks,
Jeff
